Rooting vs Flashing a leak?

[DestinedtoGame]

I am getting a refurbed Rezound tomorrow and I plan on doing one or the other. I would love to hear a case for both =D

why not go for the perfect experience and flash a rooted leak?

Ooooh that's a rather amazingly solid answer!

more on the technical side. Rooting and flashing leaks are two really different things. One lets you have full control of the software on your phone, the other upgrades you to the next evolution of the software.

A rooted leak is almost perfect (well perfect if you like stock)

Nirvana is a custom ROM, rooted and based on the most current leak.

In order to do so, does one need to unlock & root first?

Ahh. Sweet. Gonna read up how to do so. I've flashed many a Samsung device, but never an HTC.

I found the process more annoying than need be. I downloaded the leak to my computer, renamed it, put on my SD card, then used a file manager to put it where need be, and bam flashed.

BTW, you'll lose everything on your phone except for whats on the external sd card.
